Equations over Central Extensions of Hyperbolic Groups
Abstract: Finding an algorithm to solve equation systems in groups is an
old and hard problem. There is no algorithm which solves arbitrary
equation systems in arbitrary finitely presented groups. However,
algorithms have been shown to exist in many important classes of groups.
I will talk about an algorithm which solves equation systems
in central extensions of hyperbolic groups.
